Breathless Homicidal Slime Mutants

Breathless Homicidal Slime Mutants celebrates the mass-market paperback and gives it its due. A vibrant tour that starts with books from the late nineteenth century up to today, examining the most popular genres-mystery, romance, Westerns, how-to, cooking, and diet, and highbrow literature packaged for the broader audience-it focuses on the history of the art and design of the format and how it is inseparable from the history of American literacy, tastes, and mores of the twentieth century.
